Top 20+ FUN Things To Do
in Vegas
in the Winter
Las Vegas is a FUN place to visit anytime of the year and the winter is no exception. In this 24/7 city, many
of the attractions are free and the people-watching is priceless — it's a great place to escape for a long Winter Getaway Weekend.

Note: CES takes place in Las Vegas during the first or second week of January every year — it's the largest consumer electronics show in the U.S., drawing over 165,000 people from around the world... so be prepared for crowds.

We've put together some of our Favorite
Things To Do & See in Las Vegas during the winter months. Click on a link below for
a brief description. Have FUN!

1. Bellagio
- "Fountains
of Bellagio Water Show"
and Indoor Botanical Gardens
No matter what time of year we're visiting Las Vegas, we always make time to see the "Fountains of Bellagio
Water Show" — it's
even more magnificent at night... and it's free! Stroll through Bellagio's
indoor Botanical Gardensand Conservatory — it's gorgeous flowers, plants and trees change with the seasons (our favorite
is during the winter Holiday Season)... and
it's free too! Art lovers will enjoy the Bellagio Gallery
of Fine Art and its
rotating exhibitions.

2. Venetian - Venice in Vegas!
Visit St. Mark's Square and the Grand Canal
Shoppes.

Take your kids to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum for a fun
interactive experience.

to the Forum Shops — part of the
mall's interior is a recreation of ancient Rome. Enjoy the free Atlantis animatronics
